[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes no harm in asking; the squeaky wheel gets the grease. IME, the kids who are clearly too good for the team their on get asked to guest play and practice with the higher level team. They don’t want to lose those kids to another club. They still continued to play on the lower level team though (again, IME). This is PPA. [/quote]

OP here.  That is what we've seen.  My kid has been asked to guest play with the higher team several times including a tournament.  And when he plays with them he starts and plays the entire game.  He's not a sub which surprises me.  I have spoken to the coach and he has all praise for him, but soccer is the one sport I never played and travel soccer is new to me.  Wasn't sure if there was protocol in terms of this.

In regards to him waiting, the issue is his current team is not making him better.  90 minute practices and he's standing still for literally 60 minutes of it.  Barely any touches on the ball.  It's frustrating to watch and he's getting frustrated.  I don't want to get into the issues with the current team, needless to say it's not a good dynamic and parents have been complaining behind the scenes.

Thanks for all feedback.[/quote]

Most defenders do play the entire game and are not subbed. Again have some perspective. Your kid is not some superstar because he played the whole game as a Center back. [/quote]

What is with the negative attitude?  The guy is just asking about his kid and how to move up.  He never said his kid was a super star.  But, if he's guest playing up and isn't a sub he's got to be decent or better than other kids on that level.  Most guest players are subs, they don't start the entire game regardless of position.  And I don't read anything the OP posted as if he is showing off.  No need to be so negative.[/quote]
